Kaarel Loigu, CEO of Capital Mill, explains: “Capital Mill is always seeking sustainable solutions because we understand that our development activities have a profound impact on both today’s society and future generations. Our collaboration with Fibenol on the installation of green asphalt is part of our long-term strategy to incorporate environmentally friendly solutions whenever possible. Small steps collectively create significant change, and we need to address this today, not tomorrow. As a developer, it is our duty to create an environment that supports a holistic and sustainable lifestyle. This responsibility drives us to constantly seek and implement innovations. The cooperation with Fibenol in taking these steps has been smooth and enjoyable.”

Capital Mill has provided an exemplary model of delivering sustainable and innovative solutions powered by Fibenol LIGNOVA, a local bio-based raw material. We appreciate the collaboration and initiative, and we look forward to the future of private residential area developments.

Capital Mill initiated the first private residential area development project in Estonia, featuring Green Asphalt powered by Fibenol LIGNOVA. For Fibenol, this marks a collaborative initiative that drives changes towards more transparent value chains and sustainable solutions, motivated by a desire to improve rather than by regulatory demands.

Key benefits of using Fibenol raw material LIGNOVA: 

  • Enables the reduction of Scope 3 CO2 emissions
  • EPD covered 
  • Premium CO2 footprint
  • Biobased binder extender & filler 
  • No sulfur smell (due to the innovative pre-treatment technology Sunburst)
  • Transparent and EU-based value-chain
